Ambrose Bierce

Write It Right (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Published in 1909, this is an amusing collection of literary faults that irritated Bierce when he was reading critically. His list of pet-peeves provides many chuckles thanks to the author's sharp wit but also illustrates the extent to which the English language has changed in little more than a century.

Autorenporträt

Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842 - 1914) was an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist, and satirist. He wrote the short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and compiled a satirical lexicon, The Devil's Dictionary. His vehemence as a critic, his motto "Nothing matters", and the sardonic view of human nature that informed his work, all earned him the nickname "Bitter Bierce".
